Hearing this, Cui Ming looked at her with a strange look in his eyes, trying to find any trace of lying on her face.
The result disappointed him. The boy's beautiful peach blossom eyes were as clear as a spring, and his eyes lit up when he mentioned the strawberry cake.
"Don't worry, young master. There are plenty of strawberry cakes." Cui Ming turned to look at the young man next to him and asked him to send someone to deliver a piece of strawberry cake.
Knowing that he couldn't leave for a while, An Ci found a sofa and sat down, looking at Mr. Cui openly.
It was this calmness that made Cui Ming look up to her and examine her seriously.
She has prominent brow bones, delicate facial features, and skin as white as snow. Although she is still young, one can already see how stunning she will be when she grows up.
Before he saw her, he thought that the children of their Cui family were handsome and good-looking, but when compared with the young master of the An family, he was instantly killed.
He has lived for so many years, but he has never seen a boy who is so delicate and pretty. No wonder the rumors say that An Zhenxiong's little grandson is good-looking. Now it seems that the rumors are somewhat credible.
Cui Ming restrained his scrutiny and asked tentatively, "Just now I heard the young master say that this bottle of medicine is a birthday gift for the old man?"
An Ci nodded.
Cui Ming narrowed his eyes and continued, "But didn't the young master just say that you bought this bottle of medicine for the elderly at home as a precaution?"
"Yes." An Ci withdrew his gaze from Mr. Cui and replied with ease, "So this is only half a bottle of medicine."
Half a bottle?
Everyone present was stunned.
Cui Ming looked at the small porcelain bottle in his hand, not quite understanding what she meant.
"Half a bottle?" He looked at An Ci.
An Ci curved his lips, his smile pure and clear. "Originally, the bottle of medicine I photographed contained twelve pills. Before he came, I mentioned that Mr. Cui had a heart disease, and I didn't know what birthday gift to give him, so I thought of this bottle of medicine. I took half as a birthday gift and kept the other half at home."
"After all, this is the first time I'm meeting Mr. Cui. It's not appropriate to meet an elder empty-handed."
What he said was flawless, and no one could find any mistakes in it. It also made people think that the child was quite polite.
Although today is the old man's birthday party, An Zhenxiong has already prepared a birthday gift and had someone send it over. An Ci is just a child, so it would be fine if she didn't send anything. But not only did she send something, she also sent something that could save her life. Seriously speaking, the Cui family owed her a favor this time.
Cui Ming looked at her, his expression becoming even gentler. "It's rare for the young master to be so thoughtful. I appreciate it on behalf of our old man."
An Ci smiled, "After the party, could you prepare a strawberry cake for me to take away?"
Cui Ming, “…”
Has she never seen strawberries or eaten cake?
As the young master of the An family, I have nothing to eat, but why can't I forget a piece of strawberry cake?
He twitched his lips, his smile a little unnatural, "Of course."
After that, the strawberry cake was delivered.
Because An Ci mentioned strawberry cake again and again, Cui Ming couldn't help but take a few more glances at the cake on the plate.
Nothing special.
An Ci was not shy and said thank you, then picked up the fork and scooped a piece of cake into his mouth. It was not too sweet or greasy, and was quite delicious.
She narrowed her eyes in satisfaction and ate one bite after another.
Cui Ming and the others were stunned, until a hoarse voice rang out, "It seems Brother An wasn't exaggerating. Boy, you're so brave despite your young age."
